New universal wavefom generator launched

January 2007 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Comtest has announced the launch of Fluke's 29X Series of Universal Waveform Generators. The 29X Series of arbitrary waveform generators extend the Fluke range and offering with higher clock frequency rates; deeper memory; virtually unlimited waveform storage; increased performance and a USB interface included with the standard RS232 and IEEE 488.2 interfaces.

Functions and specifications are extended with additions and performance improvements.

Compact Flash memory card and memory card reader/writer is provided as standard with a 291, 292 or 294 Generator. Up to 500 complete setups or arbitrary waveforms can be stored on the CF memory card. The card writer/reader can be used on a PC to build arbitrary waveforms and then it can simply be taken back to the lab or test rack and be plugged into the generator.

Output frequency range is 0,1 to 40 MHz for sine, 50 MHz for square and up to 500 kHz for triangle, ramps and sine(x)/x.

Rise time for pulse is <8 ns with a period range of 40 ns to 100 s. Output amplitude range can be adjusted from 2,5 mV to 10 V pk-pk.

The 29X series increases the sample clock rate to 100 MS/s and increases the maximum arbitrary waveform memory depth to 1 M points to provide the ability to create high-resolution complex arbitrary waveforms.

Available in either 1, 2 or 4 Channels and 100 MS/s 40 MHz, the 29X series also features a new feature: the External Sample Clock. In current models using the Variable Sample Clock mode, the full number of points of a waveform must be completed before a frequency change can take place. Using the External Sample Clock input the speed of replay of the waveform points and thus the output frequency of the waveform can be changed. This allows the output signal to be varied on demand at any point in the waveform.

Comtest is the sole authorised distributor of Fluke Industrial and Precision Measurement Tools and a distributor of Fluke thermography equipment in southern Africa. Fluke is a world leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of electrical and industrial test tools solutions.
